ISD Premium: Irish move to top of Williams' list
Long way to go but i love the impression we gave him.
ISD Premium: Irish move to top of Williams' list
Projects at CAT in our defense, right? Kid looks like he could grow into a real monster.
No i believe the staff told him he was the #1 DE target.
He was offered by USC today as well
ESPN has him quoted saying it was a big surprise...they sent him stuff but the offer surprised him.
Has been watching USC this year and is impressed. He likes their defense. Says he likes how Laney is always pumped.
This offer puts them near the top of the list.
He definitely wants to get out to see them unofficially after his season and talk to coaches and other defensive players and see how they like it.
He said most likely he will make his decision before the season next year.
I don't like USC anymore than you but he is '14 so that would count against their 15 or so schollie limit for that year.
His interest in USC tells me that distance is not an issue. We have an Irish commit and a good friend on the same D-line as the guy, that is better than talking to some USC player IMO.

This is far from over. From looking at what all the recruiting sites are saying about this kid already. He will end up being a high 4 star, potentially 5 start by the end of this season. He's on pace for over 20 sacks this season.
IMO, this will be a tougher pull from the SEC than Rochell was.

Can't help but feel good when I see "GA DE" in the title.
Very true rtrn2glory, maybe i chose my words poorly. I do feel good about what we have going for us (Rochell and Tuitt). And both Tuitt and Rochell were long shots as well in the beginning. And I could be wrong and hope I am (because that means he's irish) but I get the feeling that this one will go a lot longer into his recruitment then Rochell's did. Personal opinion is that the Alabama's and USC's of the world will be on him a little more than Rochell which will make deciding early very hard.
IMO we are in a much better position now with Andrew than we were with both Stephon and Isaac at the same point in there recruitment. Hope we can land him.
Tuitt had a fantastic support system and home in his mother. She saw the 40 year decision.
We haven't heard enough from Williams' parent(s) to know how they feel. Hopefully it's the same. That's the difference, IMO. But yes, we are in a good position considering he saw the best stadium atmosphere in the last 20 years at Notre Dame Stadium and he's our #1 DE.
DE #24 in the initial Scout 300.
Quite low considering his offers.
pssst only 3*, ND should passDE #24 in the initial Scout 300.
Quite low considering his offers.
